appraise cookie
InvestSouthside carefully considers snowflake-shaped cookies frosted with warm, autumnal colors.
The following information is recorded about it:
Each cookie is roughly bite-sized, snowflake arms stretching a couple of
fingers across from side-to-side. They are all subtly different, a pattern
of geometric angles and lacy curls. The cookie base itself is brown and
thin, softly crispy, while a sweet layer of frosting colored in different
warm autumnal hues - browns and reds and yellows and oranges - coats the top
of each piece.
It seems to be priced at less than a gold.
This 'snowflake-shaped cookies frosted with warm, autumnal colors' is a kind of food.
It has 3 bites remaining, which should be about 100% of the original batch.

It can be worn as follows: take
It could be easily held in one hand. (Actual size: 2)
It seems to be worth less than a gold.
It should provide 47 energy per bite.

should roll IC and people shouldn't be slipping into OOC helpfiling about it."
[RPXP Gain: none] [HP:perfect MV:fresh P:walk] (bathed)

[RPXP Gain: none] [HP:perfect MV:fresh P:walk] (bathed)

others bow to them, and then if they don't they reference a help file that says others should?"
[RPXP Gain: none] [HP:perfect MV:fresh P:walk] (bathed)
Maeve questions, "But beyond alerting a cyan person that something could have negative consequences
and allowing them to walk it back, Staff wouldn't enforce anything like this. I think people may

perceived poorly?"

nothing in there was against policy. But day to day, this has to do with how players interact, and
it sounds like a lot of players struggle to let other people 'break the IC rules' without OOC

ThatBard claims, "Hm. I don't know if this relates to it, but sometimes it can be frustrating when
people pick and choose what theme they want to stick to and what not. I played a Reeve in the past
and tried to enforce the medieval Law we got. And sometimes those in Theme actions just clash with
OOC notions and sensibilities and so sometimes the player base as a whole decides to just not adhere
to theme. And then you can only sit in th corner and make a sandwich. And well.. it makes you not
want to repeat your actions. Most famously. Hosting trials. rarely goes well for whoever host it.
It's just better to not open Law rp to the public."
[RPXP Gain: none] [HP:perfect MV:fresh P:walk] (bathed)

Maeve says, "Anything in the Policy section is enforceable by staff. Anything in any other help file
section is just thematic fodder to support RP. That said, they do cross over. Someone creating Darth
Vader would probably get called out by Staff for being out of theme. Someone wearing a golden tiara,
we'd leave for the Reeves to deal with (or not) as they see fit."

Maeve states, "I like Karrin's point too - it is a policy issue if people contact other people OOCly
to 'try to modify' someone else's behavior or actions."
[RPXP Gain: none] [HP:perfect MV:fresh P:walk] (bathed)
Maeve says, "So please don't contact people OOCly to complain about what they're doing ICly. Just
deal with it ICly and have a sandwich if you need one."
[RPXP Gain: none] [HP:perfect MV:fresh P:walk] (bathed)
Karrin states, "The only acceptable use of that, is to warn cyans. But that's not to force them to
change it, it's to let them know that what they are doing is ICly dangerous, and give them the
opportunity to change it if they want to."

Karrin says, "I will add this - if you think someone is doing something truly against theme that
might breach policy, the correct approach would be to inform staff, and staff can approach it,
whatever it might be. And/or staff can let you know that whatever it is, it is fine. But that way
you, as a player rather than a character, aren't put in the awkward situation of policing theme."

Maeve states, "That's a thing I noticed recently in a similar vein - please check people's whois to

accept, because it means I, the player, know that something is unfair to another player, but want to
give them a chance to squirm out of it via allowable ooc means such as rolls"
